Why couldn't they just disable thumbnails on that subreddit? It would have solve the issue of the images being hosted on reddit and thus there wouldn't be a legal issue.

To a degree reddit is obviously trying to save face. The general populous considers us and 4chan to be one and the same, and the general populous doesn't know the difference between /b/ and /sci/. Most people won't see the difference between hosting and linking, especaly on a site where linking is the only thing it does.
